BURKE TOWN SCHOOL

FACILITIES ANALYSIS

FACILITIES ANALYSIS FOR BURKE TOWN SCHOOL

Below includes a summary of priorities from Facilities Manager interviews, Principal interviews, Staff & Student surveys, and general site observations.

PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED:

PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED:

  • UPDATES

    The campus needs to be updated for 20th century learning to build upon the ideals of the school.

  • BUILDING #4

    This building previously served as a temporary classroom space for Miller’s Run. Prior to its relocation to Burke, it had already exceeded its expected usefulness. For health and safety reasons, this building should be demolished. Of

    concern is the air quality, mold, deterioration and rot. Temperature in the space is difficult to regulate. The facilities team continues to monitor and maintain the building until it can be replaced.

  • GYMNASIUM

    A new dedicated Multipurpose space is necessary. The existing “gym” is inadequate and is not designed for this purpose. Thus, it does not work well as a gym nor as a performance space. The space is too small for many activities, and is not acoustically separated from the cafeteria below and causes many distractions.

  • RESTROOMS

    There is only one staff bathroom for the entire school and it is not ADA compliant.

  • NURSES OFFICE

    The nurse’s room needs a shower to properly function for sick students.

  • CONFERENCE SPACE

    There is no conference room or place for teachers and staff to meet.

  • STAFF ROOM

    There is no staff room and no designated collaboration space for teachers.

  • SECOND GRADE

    Second grade shares a restroom with Pre-K. Each younger class should have their own restroom.

  • ENTRY

    The main entry is not directly visible from the main office except through the use of cameras.

  • FINISHES

    Finishes in the building need to be updated. Acoustics should be considered.

  • MAKERSPACE

    A designated Makerspace area would be great for STEM opportunities. There is a lot of interest in a Bakerspace, but they have no room for this now.

  • LIFE SKILLS

    A classroom for Life Skills would be beneficial.

  • ART ROOM

    The Art room is small because shelving occupies much of the space. Dedicated storage may alleviate this issue.

  • OUTDOOR CLASS

    An outdoor, covered classroom space would be a wonderful addition to the school.

  • POTABLE WATER

    Access to potable water is a concern in several of the buildings.

  • UPDATES

    The campus needs to be updated for 20th century learning to build upon the ideals of the school.
